firsts....

there is something extra special about a child's first encounter, with pretty much anything....it is as if the magic of the moment radiates and touches every person present....you can feel the joy and the wonder of that moment and it soaks itself into your very being...and i know that camden is too young to remember his first swim in the pool with his daddy...and his first walk with his mommy on the california shoreline....but we aren't....

and so we take pictures....so that not only will we remember every square inch of that day....but we will remember those feelings...and the wonder of those tiny moments...

the intimate ones...

we will remember the contrast of the sand on baby soft skin....

we will remember the feel of the ocean breezes...and the smell of the salt water....

we will remember the laughs that were shared...and the amazement of it all....
